Well there is the wondering of how they get these suits. Most would just have whatever they can get if it isn't provided by their powers. Though Batman has the money for whatever he needs, Clark Kent certainly doesn't as a reporter.

I might be alone here, but I think the straight uninterrupted blue of Supe's new getup is kind of jarring. Not saying he had to have tights, but still. It might've looked better with something red around the midsection to break up the full blue.

Superman's new costume doesn't look that bad as I once thought. Those photos from the set make it look better, although I would have still preferred the red trunks, as I like Superman's classic look he's had for so many years. It does look more alien though, which is interesting. If the movie is good, I'll probably forget about the costume.

Boy oh boy, just when you think this film has a glimmer of hope, Zack Snyder ruins it with his douchebaggery. Once again, he's aiming for style over substance. Did these morons not learn anything from the 'Green Lantern' abomination? I seriously hope this movie finally puts a nail in the coffin for his career. The guy has really never made anything spectacular to begin with. He got big off of '300' and even that sucked ('Valhalla Rising' makes '300' look like it stepped out of the kiddie pool, btw). Oh well, maybe some time within the next century we might get a legitimately solid 'Superman' film-- I'm not holding my breath on that being any time soon, though.

Agreed. Like a thick red wraparound "V" situated at the waistline. I mean, that's an awful lot of uninterrupted blue.

This is my one and only disappointment with the costume, though.

The texture looks good, the crest looks great, and the cape looks downright majestic. Having the cape be that large is a bold move, imo.

How about as someone who can crush coal into diamond with his bare hands? Or any number of money-making things he could do with his powers. Like oil-prospecting. Or satellite launching.

I'm not quite comfortable about this new Superman's superhero outfit, though. >.< In "Returns," it was acceptable since they only wanted to modernize his costume and Routh looked great in it. I mean, how could they remove the red around the waistline? Superman's trademark outfit would not be complete without it!

Also, I thought actors who almost have the same facial features as Christopher Reeve is qualified to be the next Superman. This was the case for Routh, anyway. But I'm not too sure for the new guy. Don't get me wrong, he's indeed good-looking, but no where near as the Superman look we're familiar with in the movies.

You got to remember... Superman was created at a time when every common citizen knows how to sew. It might be rare for the average joe in modern society to make his own clothes, but there was a time it was as plausible as knowing how to tie your shoe laces.
(I was raised next door to a shop that sells cloth.)

For that matter, Batman was seen in early comics building his own Batmobile with a blowtorch. Before mass-production and cheap goods, people were expected to be able to do certain things on their own. It's just that time has moved on.

EDIT: Also, Superman was meant to resemble a Circus Strong Man outfit wise. But even Circus Strongmen have moved on to other outfits/jobs.

The older outfits sure, but not these high tech rubber bodysuits the studios are using these days. The material alone woult probably be out of mosts price range (for the real stuff not the prop departments stuff).
